Saw this question posted somewhere and it got me thinking...no matter how you've met someone (in person or online), or how long you've known them, etc, what are your "First Date Rules"


Some of mine are:

:heart: No kissing on the first date.
:heart: No cursing on the first date. (this is more for me, but i also don't like men to do that early on)
:heart: Let the guy be a gentleman. (Sometimes women get caught up in being independent and self sufficient but on a date you should just sit back and be a lady)
:heart: No talking about the ex

    I've never thought of any rules but I like yours. I wouldn't kiss a guy on a first date and I try not to curse because I think it's unladylike. I do curse but its infrequent and more when I accidentally slam my head into a cabinet.

    Another thing is about paying...I think he should pay, it's the gentlemanly thing to do and if you let me pay for my own meal or food, I'm gonna think you don't care that much. It makes a better impression.

    I do think they should pay, but I also always offer to pay for myself/pull out my wallet. I don't expect it. I wouldn't have sex either on a first date and kissing.. eh most likely not.

    Agreed. I always haul out my wallet :) I think it'd be rude otherwise.

    I don't believe in this rules on first dates business, I just act as I normally would as there's no point pretending to be something else.

    I hear crickets!? Guess all the guys who used to say if they did not get a kiss on the first date wouldn't ask for date #2 are no longer on SP?

    ^^^ Haha! Its a new day baby.

    I will say it though..if someone doesn't try and kiss me at the end of the first date I would assume he is not interested or is shy or not particularly sexual. That really won't work for me in the long run.

    1.) "Accidentally" leave my wallet in the car - it's empty anyways
    2.) Crack a couple gay-jokes so she knows I'm not one of them, but make it clear that lesbians are cool as long as they don't wear flannels and trucker hats
    3.) Make a point to tell any bums asking us for change to get a real job - girls like confidence
    4.) Knock her drink out of her hand so I can inspect her cleaning skills

    You know, basically just common sense.

    Edit: Oh, I forgot - use the "c-word" as often as possible, both in reference to women and their lady parts. Real cake-winner here.

    Really? I don't want a kiss on date one, but if you don't make a move on date two, then I would feel as you have said.

    1. No sex talk or jokes
    2. No inappropriate comments
    3. Be on time
    4. Dress like you actually care
    5. Engage in the conversation
    6. Refrain from inquiring about income, who the person live with, or any other personal question

    I had someone who did the opposite of above and was def a pre-cursor for what was to come.

    haha. i think if there is chemistry you can feel it in other ways. like when a guy puts his hand on the small of your back when you're walking in and out of a place, kissing your cheek good night followed by a nice hug (squeeze tight lol).

    maybe even a peck on the lips but definitiely not full blown making out.
